Political cartoons get a lot of hate these days, but that just means they're working! My two favorite teenage pastimes were doodling in my notebook and ranting about politics to anyone who would listen, and when I learned there was an art form that combined them into something even more annoying, I fell in love and never looked back. I usually draw from a far-left perspective...
...but nobody should be exempt from criticism, and there are times when my own "side" deserves some ridicule too.
This has never made enough money to be a "real job," but with so many injustices out there that deserve attention, it feels a lot more fulfilling than drawing charcoal landscapes or any "normal" art like that (no offense to artists who do enjoy that stuff!). All my cartoons are posted on a blog called 9mm Ballpoint, Twitter and Deviantart. Go check them out, and if you like what you see, consider supporting me here on Patreon.
About Patreon:
Patreon is a long-term crowdfunding platform: instead of making a single large donation, you pledge to pay a smaller amount per month, and your pledges will (hopefully) turn this into something professional, or at the very least, help pay for the art supplies and staggering amounts of coffee that make cartooning possible.
I don't have a bunch of fancy rewards to offer (yet), but if you pledge $1 or more per month, you'll get to see new material a day early here on my Patreon activity feed. Anything helps, and even if you don't agree with everything I draw (in fact, it would be a little weird if you did), at least we'll all have more to argue about!
